Hey HC, that's great! I'm glad you're doing allright with Linux Unfortunately, I don't have a clue on why Apache doesn't like your included files since my knowledge about Apache is a bit limited I'd go to the Apache website (apache.org) and search about your problem on mailing lists, see if there's an IRC channel available for support (even if not official). If you go to IRC, there's usually a #linux and/or #linuxhelp channel where people are very helpfull! Perhaps there's even an #apache channel

mdedens, perhaps you can contact your old host and ask them how that was possible? Even I got curious about it.

Read the rest: http://software.newsforge.com/software/04/...2&tid=82&tid=94 Pretty neat

Good point, Bill!

mdedens, include() or require() work the same way, the only difference is that if include() doesn't find the file you specify, it will go on, while require() will stop the execution of the script. EDIT: Sorry, I messed up my mind and answered with something completely useless for the discussion... Anyway, the problem is that you're trying to use PHP in a phpBB template file. Template files contain only HTML and template code. No PHP in them. A possibility would be to use a template funtion to include other files into the template but as far as I know, phpBB's template language doesn't such have a function. Still, you can add the content of copyright.txt to the template file manually. Just copy/paste it into the place you're using the include() function and it should be just fine. Let us know if it works. By the way, I'm moving this to a better forum.

A column of type TEXT should hold 65535 characters, so that's probably not the problem. Change it to MEDIUMTEXT (16777215 characters max) if you want to be sure but be aware that you'll have a lot of wasted space (useful reference: www.mysql.com/doc/en/Column_types.html ). But I'd say the problem lies somewhere else. It can't have anything to do with the text area's number of lines and columns as those are only there to format the HTML display. Can you post an URL so I can take a look at the page and try to figure out if there's something wrong with the markup?

Hi Luke. PEAR should be installed on all servers. If you don't have it on yours, please submit a help desk ticket so the techs can take care of it.

Hi Mark Either I'm missing something obvious here or I didn't explain myself well in my last post. If you click the "Manage MySQL" link on cPanel, you'll be presented with a page where you have a "Access Hosts:" section. You may specify the hosts there. Let me know if this is what you need.

Hi Mark, and welcome to the family! You can configure MySQL access permissions on cPanel by following the "Manage Mysql" link on cPanel "Databases" section. If you have any other problems, don't hesitate to ask!

Hey Jim! How are you? Thanks for the great link! PHP/MySQL Table Manager seems to be pretty good. I've downloaded it and will try it later today Glad you took the time to visit us Drop by more often. Take care!

Welcome aboard, Lisa! Thumbs Up

Great text, snipe! Really good! I agree with you on everything you said! I also agree with some points other people said and disagree with others. Jim, you're absolutely right. But, IMHO, the big point here is not how many virus/exploits there is for an operating system but how long does the operating system maker takes to fix them. This is one of the reasons that made me dump Microsoft completely. Using Free/OpenSource Software I know that as soon as a vulnerability is discovered, there will be a fix for it. This is not the case with Windows, as Microsoft sometimes takes several months to release a patch to an already known bug. I'm not saying that because of this MS is the one to blame if a Windows system gets infected with a virus but they should be more responsible when it comes to theis customers security. The other big problem I see are indeed the end users. No one wants to be held accountable for their own actions, like Jim said but even worst, no one wants that because that way they don't need to read manuals, take the time to make sure they're doing the correct thing, learn how to use their e-mail client or operating system... My friends used to call me all the time to help them fix a problem on their computer. Until I started to realise they were starting to ask me questions that were so stupid and could be answered as easily as clicking the Help button and reading a couple of paragraphs... I decided that I should not give them the fish but instead I should give them a fishing rod and teach them how to go fishing And I strongly believe that everyone should be forced to learn how to use those damn machines. And I don't mean learning how to press the mouse buttons or inserting a CD-ROM, anyone can do that just by looking to the equipment. I mean learning what a filesystem is (not the technical details but how it is organized, what's a folder, etc), what an IP address is, why they shouldn't open an e-mail attachment from someone they don't know, why they shouldn't send e-mail messages to multiple recipients and leave the recipients' addresses visible, why they shouldn't stick to the web browser and e-mail client that comes with windows.... they should be forced to know what they are buying, the power they are about to be able to have. Yes, computer users have a very powerfull tool in their hands and, just like with everything in life, a powerfull tool can be used for both good and evil. With power comes responsability but most "home" users don't want the responsability. And, IMHO, that's the biggest problem. Because if they wanted to be responsible, they would force Microsoft to fix their programs or refuse to pay the licenses if they didn't. They wouldn't open suspicious e-mail attachments. They would know all the things they should know and probably more. They would control the power they have at their fingertips, instead of having it uncontrolled at their desk, connected to the internet, spreading chaos throughout the world. But being lazy is part of human nature, so we won't see these problems disappear any time soon. I guess we'll just have to keep teaching our friends/employees/bosses how to go fishing instead of just handing them a delicious "home-cooked" microwave meal...

Glad you managed to get it working If you need any other help, you know where to post

Yep, pretty cool! I believe it works for any language (except perhaps arabic or oriental ones, that work with symbols and not letters). It's quite amazing

snipe, do you know any good graphical SCP tools for Linux?

George, first of all, welcome to the family! Second, get used to this kind of quickness, because it's what you'll always get from our family forums

Moved for better organization.

Well, perhaps all of the errors are connected to some problem with the database... but I find it strange, because if it was a big problem with the MySQL server, other customers on the same server as you are would have complained about it too. You mentioned something about the way you set up your domain name - how did you set it up?

Hi Daniel and welcome to the family! I use gFTP (Gnome user, here) or whatever other FTP client I have at hand - as long as it supports recursive uploading, so I don't have to upload directories/files one by one You can also use the cPanel's File Manager but personally, I find it very limited and annoying to use. I prefer FTP. And you're right, rsycn os not available on TCH. May I ask you why you prefer rsync? I never used it, so I don't even know how it works. What are it's advantages over FTP?

Well, the first error message is strange. I suggest you submit a help desk ticket so one of the techs can have a look at the problem. About the database, are you using the correct database names and user names? Database names should be in the form <cpanel username>_<database name> And user names should be in the form <cpanel username>_<database username>

Glad you managed to get it working again

Simon, what exactly is the problem? What error messages do you get, when do you get them, what software are you trying to install... give us a bit more info so we can try to help you.

Bobby, I meant in the phpBB administration panel. I don't think phpBB has any problem with HTTPS. I've seen posts about how to use it that way, on phpBB's official forums, so I'm supposing it has no problem at all. Glenn, good points, thanks for reminding us about them

Yep, TCH's support level is indeed the best I've ever experienced from all the webhosting companies I've been with! That's why I'm not thinking about leaving even if I find lower priced hosting! Besides, we have a really great family, here and that counts a lot! Oh, and I'm moving this to the reviews forum for better organization
